hey guys, I've just started to grow, I've made a lot of research before but I also decided to do something easy for the first time, and actually, planned to do it outdoors, but once the seedlings appeared the weather fucked me up and they're growing so nasty because of the lack of light, they're about 10 days (sprouted) and about 3 inches tall, i'm using bio-bizz soil, (planned to use organic nitrogen for vegetation, if needed, they are autos, snowryder strain, and also going to help the flowering with bio bloom).
Now that I finally realized the sun could come and leave whenever, specially in this country, we started considering the use of artificial light, we still have 2 seeds left to try again in case the old ones die, but I'll try to save them all asap. I find strange the different opinions I've read, and still have some doubts about what kind of light to use, in terms of lumens, watts, spectrum, etc. On the other side I can't afford to have something very expensive, (otherwise I could even grow more), not because of the money but because of environmental conditions (don't want to see the landlord's face if the power bill gets too high, u know what I mean?)
All in all, could you maybe point me on the right direction? I have enough space (to adjust lamp levels), fresh air, steady temperature, I'm also doing good with ph measuring, etc, but I just need to know what kind of bulbs I should use for just 2 or 3 auto strains, they don't grow more than 1 meter tall, don't care that much about the bulb price, but something to save the most energy possible and get a decent yield, is there one to use for veg and flowering time?
I was going to post some pics, but they're so spaghetti that I decided not to...I wont give up and will try to do something better, so next time pictures and thanks in advance!
